I think you should be happy about the fact that the iBook
finally has a halfway decent resolution LCD even if it did
lose the annoying color scheme. As a Thinkpad toter, I'm
rather happy bith my black slab, since it's bigger and
faster than an iBook, which means I can have more fun with
it. (Of course, it also cost more....) If you're more
concerned with appearance than what's
inside, get a can of spraypaint....

Me:

Time for me and my black slab to do a crosscountry trip,
unfortunately the only hacking I'll likely do will be
work-related. But it did give me an excuse to pick up a
power inverter so I can charge in the car.

Have the new replacement for Springies set up, which
is good. Still need to set up the CD-RW, which will involve
tithing for a new SCSI cable.
